Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island — Signed Production Cel
Bob Singer – Cel with Production Drawing
This production cel comes from Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, one of the most admired films in the Scooby-Doo cycle, and is accompanied by an original production drawing. It is signed by Bob Singer, a key animator at Hanna-Barbera, and carries the Warner Bros. Television certificate of authenticity.
The film marked a deliberate change of register for the series: the gang of Mystery Inc. is brought to Moonscar Island, where Daphne's television programme, Coast to Coast with Daphne Blake, leads them into the house of Simone Lenoir and towards a darker truth connected to the island's past. The shift from fabricated scares to supernatural presences gave the story a tone the franchise had not used before.
The cel is the product of the traditional technique, drawing transferred to celluloid, painted by hand and photographed over painted backgrounds, and each frame therefore carries slight variations that make it unique within the sequence. The presence of the production drawing adds a second layer of documentation, showing the hand-drawn stage that precedes the painted cel.
